Description
A novelty route, for those who are interested in an adventure in runout choss this may be for you.
While I can't necessarily say this route is worth the effort of climbing as it does involve creating a making a temporary anchor off a tree to descend into it's start (logistically involved in comparison to other climbs around), it is a cool feature that i'm not certain anyone else has climbed (waiting for further information to surface)
Create an anchor off the only suitable tree on top of the pillar to descend down to the obvious starting ledge.
From here follow the obvious face of holds and gear *though intermittent at times to the top of the cliff.
If I recall there isn't too many opportunities for great gear towards the top, so stack it up down low where you can. A set of aliens and stoppers work well on this route.
Once atop have your partner clean up the gear on the follow and bask in the beauty of the natural beauty and wonder of the river.
Location
Obvious sandstone/quartzite pillar locate at the eastern end of the Roark bluff.
